The Board of Education encourages opportunities for certified staff members to develop increased competence beyond that which they may attain through the performance of their assigned duties through attendance at certified meetings.

For purposes of this policy, a certified meeting shall be defined as:

A.

any meeting that is related to the activities, duties, or responsibilities of certified staff members as determined by the Superintendent;

B.

a meeting through which direct value can be derived for the person in attendance for later use in the performance of District duties.

The Superintendent shall prepare administrative guidelines to implement this policy.
